Do you know what a Kibibyte is?
Setting up a DBA Reporting Query finding out the free space per data file we came into a discussion how to distinguish between kilobytes based on 1000 bytes and kilobytes based on 1024 bytes.
A quick net investigation gave us the answer: The thing we call kilobyte in informatics is officially called Kibibyte. I really didn't know that...
The same is true with Megabytes, Gigabytes etc. They are named mebibytes and gibibytes - funny thing!

DOAG-Event Stuttgart
I joined the DOAG-Event Stuttgart yesterday.
The first session was about separating business rules from PL/SQL code, moving it from a procedural way to define them to a declarative way. The guy from Semantec gave an overview of a tool they are using in their projects called Logist. The ideas behind that approach are very interesting, although I think they can't be adopted for all scenarios. Anyway, I think I should have a deeper look into the area of business rules engines...
The second session was about Oracle Portal. A guy from Oracle made the presentation. For me it was a first overview about what Oracle Portal provides. Some kind of interesting but too less technical.

Techno-Circle Oracle10g
On thursday and friday I joined the Trivadis Techno-Circle 10g in Frankfurt. I didn't know that plain listening can be that exertive. But the event was worth it. They covered a lot of areas in which Orcle10g has new features and improvements. The outcome was: 10g is a step forward but it's not necessarily the Grid Database.
